We provide tailor made solutions others simply cannot find
Avcon Jet stands out as one of the premier business aviation companies in Europe for several compelling reasons. Our commitment to excellence is exemplified through our adherence to the most rigorous safety standards and regulations. We offer a multitude of Air Operator Certificates, further emphasizing our dedication to the highest quality of service and flexibility. And, importantly, our team comprises some of the best minds in European business aviation.
Quality Standards
Avcon Jet is listed as a commercial operator and licensed airline with a modern fleet of aircraft that is among the youngest worldwide. Our Austria office and San Marino office are also approved to participate in the Visa Waiver Program, which enables travelers of participating countries to visit the United States without obtaining a traditional visa.
Avcon Jet operates according to the following regulations: EASA Air OPS, EASA FCL, Austrian regulations as per BGBL No. 382/1995, European regulations with Air Operator Certificates AOC-117, South Africa Air Operator Certificate regulations, San Marino Air Operator Certificate regulations, and EC regulation 1008/2008. Avcon Jet also operates according to FAA Part 129 and Canadian Foreign AOC requirements, and is North America certified under FAA regulation Part 135 and 91 OPS.
We hold the highest standards for safety and are Wyvern and IS-BAO stage 2 certified – two of the most challenging safety certifications to earn. To ensure we uphold our high safety standards, our employees are properly trained in all areas of aviation safety and are obligated to undergo continuous learning with additional training courses – this includes dispatchers, CAMO technicians, flight operations, and administrative employees. Our pilots also undergo extensive training and are subject to ongoing training and education.
